A Holiday Message from Future Proof

This holiday season, as families gather around this country from coast to coast, many are having a conversation that would have seemed unthinkable just a few years ago: “Can we still afford to live here?”

This year tested American families in ways that are hard to ignore. Insurance premiums jumped 82% in high-risk areas. Major insurance carriers pulled out of entire states. Nearly half of U.S. homes now face severe threats from fire, flood, wind, or extreme heat. The $22 trillion question became impossible to dodge: what happens when the safety nets we’ve relied on to protect our homes start to fray?

Technology That Bridges the Gap

Through all of the extreme weather catastrophes, we watched something remarkable happen. People refused to accept helplessness as an answer.

Homeowners started asking harder questions. Not “is climate change real?” but “what can I do about my property?” Contractors looked for better solutions \. Communities took action on resiliency planning.

Future Proof is built to help property owners figure out the best ways to harden their homes.

AI, Partnerships, and a Mission That Matters

2025 was the year we moved from ideas to reality:

Magic Window launched nationwide, giving families their first clear look at how extreme weather threatens their home and their neighborhood.

Strategic partnerships with IBM Climate Intelligence, EagleView, The Weather Company, and others proved that solving big problems requires collaboration, not competition.

Public benefit status made it official: we’re legally bound to balance profit with purpose. Our mission to protect American homes is in our corporate charter.

Scaling From Vision to Impact

2026 is when we prove this extreme weather resilience works at scale.

XHome Survey will launch in 2026, adding to risk assessments by giving families and contractors specific construction plans with budgets and material lists with exactly what their home needs and how to get the work done.

The NACB trade show exhibition will put our technology in front of 125,000 contractors and suppliers who can help homeowners actually implement solutions.

Insurance partnerships are multiplying as carriers realize that helping people harden their homes beats dropping coverage and running away.

The Ivory Innovations in affordable housing nominated Future Proof, recognizing our commitment to excellence, to solving the tough problems, and helping families to fend for themselves in a scarily uncertain and rapidly changing world.

From Our Family to Yours

In this season of togetherness, it’s hard to ignore how divided we’ve become as a country. Political arguments dominate conversations. Communities continue to split; differences seem impossible to bridge.

But wildfires don’t check voter registration before they burn. Hurricanes don’t distinguish between red states and blue states. The Palisades fires consumed homes in Los Angeles without asking anyone’s opinion on climate policy. Hurricane Helene devastated North Carolina mountain towns that had never flooded before. Maui burned. Disasters don’t care about our disagreements.

What weather catastrophes reveal is simple: we all want the same thing: safety, security, and a happy home. The peace of mind that comes knowing your family is okay. Reassurance that we can and will survive what’s coming.

This is a time to come together, not find more reasons to be angry or fight. Every family deserves tools to protect what they love. Every contractor deserves solutions that actually work. Every community deserves help and guidance on how to weather what’s coming.

Safe travels this holiday season. Warm gatherings. Enjoy time with the people who make you feel at home.
